Hanging the lamp vertically uses the lamp's energy most efficiently does it not?

the greatest useable contribution of light in a grow room comes directly from the bulb to the canopy, through open space
Here's my question, if you get the plants super close to the light (say 6-8") aren't you cutting back the total area (width if you will) that the light can be cast... and the number and/or size of the plants?
Seems that if you have a bulb 2' from the canopy, you can cover 4' width no prob. If you go 6" to canopy, fig it to be appx 1', no? If applied out, isnt this a reduction in the bene's of the 360d footprint?
